The closest Graham Potter’s team came to scoring was a late header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the visitors were unable to find a way through. They are currently in fourth place, seven points behind Manchester United. Morgan Gibbs-White put Brennan Johnson through on goal for Forest in the 10th minute, but Kepa Arrizabalaga made a great save on both the first attempt and the follow-up. But Sterling capitalised on a strange Willy Boly clearance attempt that deflected off the crossbar to give Chelsea the lead.

After the half, the home team came out strong and Johnson forced Kepa to make another stop in the 50th minute before Gibbs-White unleashed a spectacular shot that thundered off the bar and to safety. After Chelsea failed to clear a corner, Forest finally scored when Aurier volleyed a shot past Kepa. The right-back celebrated the equaliser furiously. After a lively Hakim Ziyech cross, Aubameyang headed wide as Chelsea attempted to score a second goal, but Potter’s team was unsuccessful.
